Method

  1. In a small saucepan, cook ¼ cup plus 3 Tbsp. milk and 2 Tbsp. bread flour over low heat, whisking constantly, until thickened to a paste (about 2-3 minutes). Transfer the tangzhong to a small bowl and let it sit until warm and resembling mashed potatoes (about 5-10 minutes). Clean the saucepan and set it aside.

  2. In the reserved saucepan, bring the remaining ½ cup plus 1 Tbsp. milk to a gentle simmer over medium heat (be careful as milk tends to boil over). Pour the milk into another small bowl and let it cool until it is warm to the touch (around 110°). Stir in the yeast and a pinch of sugar and let it sit until foamy (about 5-10 minutes).

  3. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, combine the egg, salt, remaining 2⅔ cups bread flour, and remaining ¼ cup sugar. Add the tangzhong and yeast mixture and mix on low speed until a shaggy dough forms. Gradually add the butter, one piece at a time, mixing until fully incorporated after each addition. Increase the speed to medium-high and continue to mix the dough until it becomes tacky and slightly sticky (about 8-10 minutes).

  4. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Wet your hands to prevent sticking, then pull and pinch
